So inside the loop, all we need is the code we want to execute. For comparison sake, let's take a look at our while loop again. You can see we have the starting assignment outside the loop. We have the condition in the parentheses and we have the incrementer inside the while loop. The incrementer as you saw can be pretty easy to forget. Now let's write a for loop that does a similar task. We'll write for and then we have the assignment, I gets zero. We have our condition, I is less than 10, and then we have our incrementer. Now it's important to note here that even…
